Fading Forest

Making a Small Prototype

This week, was the week after reading week. We used class time to continue making more globes as well as to talk with the Professors about our Fade Candy idea. When the idea was proposed them, they liked the idea and we went forward with ordering three Fade Candies and 5 packs of NeoPixels. Kim and I plan to make a trip soon to Creatron to buy the force sensors and photoresistors. Additionally, Virginia and Andy also used the reading week to try to connect Arduino with Unity. Virginia was able to successfully connect a photoresistor along with an led in arduino and have it activate with the code written in Unity. She also began the initial stages of constructing the virtual, particle world. There was also the discussion between the scenographer (Netra) and the creative(Ken), to make a small model of our design for next class. The reason for creating a physical model is to have a more in depth vision about how everything is going to connect with each other. Professor Joel offered to provide us with a molecular kit to use to construct the model. We are making progress! Once we obtain the rest of our materials, we will be closer to completing our project.
